Shadowbox Contortions

No photographer am I;
nor a model;
nor a scholar;
but in studying the photos
of a long awaited prayer
it focuses like crystal
what the aperture reveals:

One learns more about a person
from a candid shot they've taken
than a fistful of self-portraits
or another one they're in
since we're all just postcard memoirs
who long to want what we can see.

In the best frame there's an attic
where the two of us have been.
